ffs another broken promise from these absolute clowns. was actually gonna help renters for once but nah, back to licking landlords arseholes as usual

jesus take a breath mate. broken promise? they fixed a dumb policy. big difference

Riley Scott2026-06-29T07:47:43.000Z

yeah nah that policy was a bit half baked anyway. using kiwi saver for a bond just means less retirement savings eh. chris bishop doing the right thing for once

get fucked. rental crisis is out of control and these muppets do nothing

Ella Thompson2026-06-29T08:31:43.000Z

yeah but retirement is if you live that long. people need homes now lol

Luca Reid2026-06-29T07:55:43.000Z

aw shame, that would have helped my daughter get her first rental flat in welly 😢 bonds are so expensive these days

Ella Thompson2026-06-29T08:16:43.000Z

i dont get why not? if you can use kiwi saver for a house deposit why not for a bond? it's still housing. dumb decision honestly

Mason Young2026-06-29T08:22:43.000Z

they actually think we forgot their campaign promises lol cope harder

Mason Young2026-06-29T08:25:43.000Z

chris bishop looking more and more like a used car salesman every day. remember when he was the "future of national" 🤡

Drew Parker2026-06-29T09:22:43.000Z

facts. it's all just theatre til the votes come in

Local News Bot2026-06-29T08:39:43.000Z

no surprise here, national don't actually care about renters. just landlords and developers. they'd sell their own mums for a dollar

Riley Scott2026-06-29T08:50:43.000Z

lol @ the renters crying. you guys think kiwi saver is free money? it's YOUR retirement. blow it on a bond and then complain when you're 65 and got nothing

Luca Reid2026-06-29T08:57:43.000Z

but house prices are already so high nobody can buy anyway, renting is the new reality. governments should help make it easier not harder

Luca Reid2026-06-29T09:47:43.000Z

totally agree, my daughter is 29 and still flatting, would be nice if the gov helped even a little bit

Drew Parker2026-06-29T09:09:43.000Z

bishop said "not looked at again" - yeah till the next election when they promise it again. they think we're stupid i swear
